  During last year, some (suspects) were arrested and used some tools to intercept our communications. Quite simply, if our communication system can be intercepted by others, they will know when you will transfer which personnel. Many of them are assisted by external forces. For example, it is very simple. You only look at what happened last year. How can ordinary people have so many equipment, helmets, and gas masks. Go violently and make trouble, then you can imagine.

  [Explanation] Ren Darong has engaged in 34 kinds of police work during his 37 years of police career. He has experienced the era of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force. He was also seconded to the UK as a superintendent. As the principal of the mobile unit, he has specialized in training including the Flying Tigers. The police officers inside handled violent actions such as demonstrations and demonstrations. He said that before and after the reunification, the Hong Kong Police Force had completely different law enforcement styles.

  (Hong Kong-British period) What we taught this strategy is: if it is to throw petrol bombs, we have to use live ammunition guns. We specifically train them to use a rifle called AR15. This can be reached remotely. This petrol bomb is a great threat to human life, so we must be taught to shoot. In fact, last year, the police force was very restrained against these kinds of black violence.

  [Commentary] Ren Darong knows the equipment of the Hong Kong police force well. He said that there are many weapons that can instantly subdue thugs without taking their lives. For example, the Remington shotgun that can fire 108 lead shots at the same time, which can be rotated at the same time. He said that such extreme methods have never been used after the return of the ground. On the one hand, there have been few radical violent incidents in Hong Kong society after the return. On the other hand, the British Hong Kong government announced on July 1, 1997. A number of laws have been introduced in the past, which obstructed the enforcement of the police force.

  Before the reunification, the governor planted many bombs and introduced many laws. After passing through the Legislative Council before July 1st (1997), these are after the reunification, the problems we encountered in law enforcement slowly emerged, which made us sometimes have many difficulties in law enforcement. For example, it is very simple. Before 1997, if we were to do some investigations, we had to use an eavesdropping method. At that time (in the British Hong Kong period) you only had to go to the Governor (application), and the Governor could already approve it. Some time after the reunification, our application is to go to the judge. Relatively speaking, this is a lot more difficult.

  [Commentary] Ren Darong said that after the return of Hong Kong, the degree of social freedom was relatively high, which to a certain extent provided the soil for some interested people to spread extreme speech and guide extreme behavior. Fake news has caused false and transparent information, making it even more difficult for the police to enforce the law. He believes that the Hong Kong National Security Law will have an immediate effect in Hong Kong, and he is particularly confident in the future enforcement of the police.

  You have a new law that allows the police to fill the loopholes in the past 23 years. In the past, we did not have this law to bind our hands and feet. With this law, it can be said that we can relax some of the restrictions. Now that there are new laws, I think the police should not waste this step that the motherland has taken for us. We should do our best to enforce the law. If the enforcement is strong enough, I think the future of Hong Kong should be good.
